Photograph Critique


Photographer-Jia Guorong
Where-12th National Games of the People’s Republic of China
When-03 September 2013

In this image, we see a male gymnast doing a release on a bar. I like how in this photograph we can see the movement of the man. It gives an insight to where his body is turning. One element that is used in this image is the feeling of movement. The image was intentionally blurred to give the image a sense of movement. The depth of field in this image made the background blurry and harder to recognize what is there. The image captures the chalk remnants from the man’s grips to give it more interest. Also this image is shown in black and white so it gives the image high contrast. When I look at this image, I feel confidence. The photographer tells a story of the man’s hard work paying off. This photo gives an impression of strength and dedication.

Where-International Pedigree Dog and Purebred Cat Exhibition in Erfurt, Germany
When- June 16, 2013

In this photograph, we see two white dogs jumping into water and water splashes everywhere. I really enjoy this photo. Who doesn’t like looking wet dogs splashing water? I feel like the water droplets really work for this photo as it gives it interest and a sense of movement.  The photographer was able to freeze time in this photo as he probably used a fast shutter speed. The depth of field in this photograph was focused on the dogs and the background was blurry. Bright and bold colors are shown in this picture as it emphasizes life and happiness. The light was coming from the top left of this image and it flatters the image very well.  This photo probably had a higher exposure being that the image is showing a lot of light. This photo, I believe, has a low contrast. When I look at this piece I get the emotion of happiness and activity. The photographer captures a story in this piece of dogs jumping into water.  This image evokes a happy and excited emotion describing what the dogs were feeling.
